Kobe Jersey Retirement

Five championships. 33,570 points. Eighteen All-Star selections. Four All-Star MVPs. Two Finals MVPs. The 2007–08 regular season MVP. Together, those stats and accomplishments only begin to tell the legacy Kobe Bryant left both in the NBA and the basketball world at large. Kobe Bryant's jerseys, both No. 8 and No. 24, were raised to the Staples Center rafters on Monday night—a testament to what was one of the greatest careers in pro hoops history.

NBA 2K18 — Want It All

The story is routine but relatable: A young basketball player, Donte Grand, dreams of going from the neighborhood court to the NBA court. But it’s told in ebullient style, beginning with the spot’s first great visual—the two courts juxtaposed on each other. The kid is literally visualizing his dream. The rest of the way, we get a time-lapse look at Donte’s evolution, from lonely workouts as a youngster to college star to NBA signing day to teaming with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers and facing off against Kevin Durant’s Golden State Warriors.

AF1 Baltimore

Nike’s exclusive, limited-edition Special Field Air Force 1 Mid “For Baltimore” sneaker commemorates a unique piece of athletic-shoe history for which Baltimore is responsible. By 1984, the Air Force 1 was phasing out of production, and may have been abandoned altogether had three Baltimore retailers not intervened. AF1’s were extremely popular in Charm City, so the owners of Cinderella Shoes, Charley Rudo Sports and Downtown Locker Room convinced Nike to keep making them, which is why they’re still used in street and professional play today.

Nike Canada — Play Less Nice

Canadians may be known as cordial, apologetic people, but Nike’s latest ad campaign portrays them as being fiercely competitive when it comes to sports. The creative follows a Canadian athlete during a pre-game training run and is intended to show the chasm between Canadians’ sport and non-sport personas. While not in training mode, the athlete is polite and generous, having helped an elderly neighbor take out the trash. But once he begins his training routine, nothing stands in his way. We’re Canadians. It doesn’t matter what sport, we come to play.

Nike Baseball — Never Stronger

The Astros—whose first season was in 1962—are World Series champions for the first time in franchise history, defeating the Dodgers 5-1 in Game 7 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and completing a Fall Classic for the ages. Springer, unanimously voted the Willie Mays World Series MVP, referenced the inspiration of the Astros' fan base that is recovering from Hurricane Harvey. "That patch on our chest truly does mean a lot to us," Springer said. "I'm so happy for all of our fans, who have endured a lot. We're coming home champions."

Anxiety Kills

This project is a photo series of myself facing my fears. Having the words afraid, anxious, alone, sad, and depressed to be covering my whole body is a way of showing how much control those words have over me. I also decided to dress in black showing the life I'm living in is nothing but a large funeral. —Rayan Alhú
